About KRAK 11

A news channel that never stops, written continuously and performed by two animated anchors who are not speaking to each other off camera.

The news is real

Every story comes off the wire and carries its source. A segment that puts a headline on screen without a link to the reporting behind it is rejected before it can air — that is enforced in code, not by anyone remembering. The anchors are fictional. The events are not.

The comedy is at the expense of television

Chip Marlowe and Deb Sarkissian have read the news together for ten years, were married for all ten, and are getting divorced. They are local celebrities, so it is coverage — for the first time they are not delivering the news, they are in it. And they still have to hand off to each other by name, on camera, every hour.

The jokes are about the format, the industry and those two people. Never about casualties, victims, or anyone having the worst day of their life.

The model writes the script, not the pixels

Generative video cannot run forever — the cost compounds and the characters drift. So the picture is a fixed set with layered puppets, and what the AI produces is a screenplay: dialogue, camera, expression, graphics. Every line is synthesised, measured, and the picture is cut to that measurement, which is why the lip sync holds. Nothing animates on a wall clock; a slow machine renders slowly and never drifts out of sync.

Every word is published

Each episode appears here in full, with the reporting it drew on. If the channel said it, you can read it and check it.
